Dark matter doesn’t interact with ordinary matter. It’s invisible to light and other forms of electromagnetic radiation. So modern instruments can’t “see” it. But dark matter does have mass. And that means it has a gravitational pull.
The study is called When leaving the solar system: Dark matter makes a difference . The peer-reviewed journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society published it.
Scientists discover new planet orbiting nearest star to solar system | Astronomy | The Guardian
Astronomers have found evidence for a new planet circling Proxima Centauri, the nearest star to the sun.
The alien world is only a quarter of the mass of Earth and orbits extremely close to its parent star, at one tenth of the distance between the sun and Mercury, the solar system's innermost planet.
The centuries-long hunt for the largest hidden object in the solar system | Last Seen
Every school kid learns that there are exactly eight planets in our solar system. But what if we told you there might be a ninth? A world that may be six times the size of Earth and take 12,000 years to orbit the Sun.

Space junk is making a dangerous mess of our solar system | WVTF
Some of this space junk — ranging from tiny to the size of a school bus — is orbiting at more than 17,000 miles per hour and causing headaches and near-misses that will only become more of an issue with a huge uptick in space launches and more satellites.
Breaking news: Vatican Observatory astronomer finds new member of the solar system
An astronomer at the Vatican Observatory ( www.VaticanObservatory.org ), together with his colleagues, has found a new member of the solar system orbiting beyond the planet Neptune. This "trans-Neptunian object," or "TNO," is currently is designated "2021 XD7." It was first observed by Fr.
Lithuanian astronomer and astrophysicist Kazimieras Černis analyzed the data from the VATT for the discovery. Peter Veres of the International Astronomical Union's Minor Planet Center calculated the object's orbit using observations Boyle acquired over time.

Finding Neptune: How we discovered the eighth planet | Astronomy.com
The story of how observers discovered Uranus and Neptune is among the most celebrated in the annals of astronomy. As the first modern additions to the solar system, joining the classical planets known to the ancients, the ice giants forever changed our conception of the universe.
At least, that’s how the story usually goes. But finding Neptune was less straightforward than the story suggests. It’s a tale filled with fascinating characters, missed opportunities, and even international intrigue.
Research using deep mantle krypton deduces more about Earth's outer solar system ancestry - The
Using precise measurements of krypton isotopes, UC Davis researchers prove that volatile organic compounds were incorporated into the Earth earlier than they thought
According to a new study published in Nature by UC Davis researchers, krypton (Kr) isotopes provide better insight into how, when and where carbon, nitrogen and water were brought to Earth.
Nigerian university students to benefit from 876kWp solar system
The Nile University of Nigeria has joined the ranks of the commercial and industrial (C&I) rooftop solar power system market. The 876kWp solar installation system will benefit higher-education students at the university's Abuja campus for years to come.
Starsight Energy, a C&I solar power provider, completed the 876kWp solar installation for the Nile University of Nigeria campus in Abuja this week.
